The length of the trail ride will vary due to a horses fitness level. Never take an unfit horse out on the trails, this is just asking for an injury. The heat is a factor but more important is the humidity level. The more humid it is the less a horse can sweat. A horse should be able to carry a rider (Not an overweight rider) for a minimum of one hour without any undue stress in good weather, assuming the horse is fit and the rider capable. The footing of the trail will also help decide how long a horse can go without tiring, deep sandy trails will wear down a horse faster than flat smooth trails will. If you are unsure about the horse you are riding, have a more experienced friend or trainer asses him and tell you what they think.

How long would the exposure time have to be to create a star trail photograph?

The length of time required to photograph star trails varies depending on how long you would like the trails to appear. Generally, with a 10 minute exposure, you will have very faint trails. With a one hour exposure, you will have trails roughly four times as long. With a 180 minute exposure, you will have trails that are substantially longer, and will noticeably fill the picture. The longer the exposure, the more white the picture will become as it is filled with star trails.
